Gold Black Style at Private Luxury Forum Split 2026: bespoke Italian travel design, corporate luxury concierge, and prestige real estate — curated B2B meetings on the Dalmatian Coast, 10–13 May 2026....
When one door closes, a far more spectacular one opens — in this case, onto the sun-drenched Dalmatian Coast.
Following the cancellation of the Dubai edition due to the current geopolitical climate, Gold Black Style has secured its place at Private Luxury Forum Split 2026 — and we could not be more excited. From 10 to 13 May 2026, the world’s most discerning luxury travel professionals will gather at the magnificent Le Méridien Lav in Split, Croatia, for three days of curated one-to-one meetings, high-level networking, and destination discovery along one of Europe’s most captivating coastlines.
This is our official reference point for partners, press, and buyers. Here you will find what we are bringing to Split, the services we will present, and how to connect with us during the forum.
What is Private Luxury Forum Split?
Private Luxury Forum is the gold standard of B2B luxury travel events: invitation-only, relationship-driven, and built on quality over volume. No exhibition halls, no crowds — only carefully matched meetings between elite buyers and premium providers.
The Split edition brings together 110 exhibitors and 120 global buyers — decision-makers from UHNW-focused agencies, luxury hospitality groups, and premium lifestyle brands — for an intensive programme of up to 43 personalised one-to-one meetings, powered by AI matchmaking technology that ensures every conversation counts.
Why this format works
- Curated 1:1 meetings — high relevance, zero noise
- AI-powered matchmaking — every meeting is strategically aligned
- Confidential networking in a controlled, premium environment
- Destination discovery — immersive activities along the Dalmatian Coast
- Industry insights — direct access to the trends shaping ultra-luxury travel
Split: The Perfect Stage for Luxury
Split is no accidental choice. Croatia’s second city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built literally within the walls of Diocletian’s Palace — a Roman emperor’s retirement residence turned vibrant living city. Where else in the world can you sip an espresso in a 1,700-year-old peristyle, then step onto a yacht heading for the crystalline waters of Hvar and Brač?
The Dalmatian Coast has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting luxury destinations, offering superyacht marinas, Michelin-calibre dining, heritage boutique hotels set within ancient palace walls, and island-hopping itineraries that rival the Greek islands for beauty while retaining an authenticity that mass tourism has not yet eroded.
The forum’s host hotel, Le Méridien Lav, is Split’s only five-star resort — commanding an 800-metre private beach on the Adriatic, with an infinity pool, world-class Diocletian Spa, nine restaurants and bars, and a private marina. It is the ideal setting for the kind of meetings that shape the future of luxury travel.
What Gold Black Style Brings to Split
At Private Luxury Forum Split, we will present the full spectrum of Gold Black Style’s capabilities — not only our celebrated Italian travel design, but also two strategic business lines that reflect the evolving needs of our international clientele.
1. Bespoke Italian Travel Design
Our core: crafting seamless, hyper-personalised Italian journeys for UHNW travellers. From Milan to Lake Como, Tuscany to the Amalfi Coast, we design experiences built on rare access, local trust networks, and the kind of discreet coordination that only a Milan-based team with 15 years of relationships can deliver.
- Private cultural experiences with expert guides
- Fashion, design, and art-focused programmes
- High-end mobility and chauffeur-driven transfers
- VIP restaurant access and Michelin reservations
- Tailor-made multi-destination itineraries
2. Corporate Luxury Concierge
A growing number of forward-thinking companies are discovering that exceptional experiences are the ultimate executive benefit. Gold Black Style’s Corporate Luxury Concierge programme is designed for businesses that want to attract, retain, and reward top-tier talent through curated lifestyle services that go far beyond traditional corporate perks.
We work with HR directors, C-suite executives, and family offices to deliver a white-glove concierge service for senior management and key personnel:
- Exclusive travel planning — personalised Italian holidays, weekend escapes, and milestone celebrations handled end-to-end
- Relocation and lifestyle support — for international executives relocating to Italy: home search, school guidance, private healthcare navigation, cultural onboarding
- Event and hospitality coordination — private corporate dinners, client entertainment, incentive trips, and retreat planning at Italy’s finest venues
- Day-to-day lifestyle management — restaurant bookings, last-minute tickets, personal shopping, and the thousand small details that make life in Italy effortless
- Dedicated account management — a single point of contact who knows each executive’s preferences, schedule, and standards
In a market where top managers have choices, the companies that invest in quality of life win the talent war. Our corporate programme turns that insight into a tangible, measurable advantage.
3. Italian Prestige Real Estate
For clients whose love affair with Italy extends beyond travel, Gold Black Style’s Prestige Real Estate division offers advisory and search services for premium Italian properties — from historic villas on Lake Como to design apartments in Milan’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, from Tuscan estates to Amalfi Coast retreats.
- Property search and acquisition advisory — curated shortlists based on lifestyle, investment goals, and privacy requirements
- Due diligence coordination — legal, fiscal, and technical oversight through our trusted partner network
- Renovation and interior design management — from concept to completion, with access to Italy’s finest architects and artisans
- Property management — ongoing care, seasonal preparation, and lifestyle coordination for non-resident owners
At Split, we look forward to connecting with international buyers and advisors whose clients dream of owning a piece of Italy — and who value a partner that understands both the market and the lifestyle.
Why Gold Black Style is Attending
Our presence at PLF Split is about building the relationships that will define the next chapter of Italian luxury. Specifically:
- Strengthen global partnerships with buyers and travel designers who share our uncompromising standards
- Present our expanded portfolio — travel design, corporate concierge, and prestige real estate as an integrated Italian luxury ecosystem
- Showcase Italy as the ultimate luxury destination through experiences that cannot be replicated without local access
- Capture industry intelligence on emerging UHNW behaviours and translate them into new service offerings
- Expand our trusted supplier network across premium hospitality, mobility, and lifestyle
Split’s position at the crossroads of Mediterranean luxury — where the Adriatic meets centuries of Venetian, Roman, and Croatian heritage — makes it a natural gathering point for decision-makers who think in terms of experiences, not transactions.

Luxury Travel Trends Shaping 2026
Private Luxury Forum is where the industry’s next priorities become visible. Based on what we see across our market, these are the shifts that matter most.
Hyper-personalisation is the new baseline
Luxury travellers expect programmes calibrated to their smallest preferences — timing, pace, privacy level, cultural depth, dietary needs, and lifestyle details. “Private” is no longer enough; it must be personally designed.
Cultural depth over checklist tourism
Clients want meaningful cultural moments: design, art, architecture, culinary heritage, and behind-the-scenes access — curated with sensitivity, knowledge, and taste.
The corporate luxury revolution
Companies competing for top executive talent are investing in lifestyle benefits that go beyond traditional packages. Travel, relocation support, and curated experiences are becoming strategic retention tools — and Italy is the backdrop of choice.
Italy remains the ultimate aspiration
Italy is consistently among the world’s most desired destinations. The difference is execution: the finest experiences rely on local trust networks, refined logistics, and curation that respects both privacy and authenticity.
Who We Partner With
We welcome partnerships with premium operators who share our approach: detail-driven service, reliability, discretion, and a deep understanding of UHNW expectations.
- 5-star hotels and luxury resorts
- Private villas and exclusive residences
- Premium mobility providers (chauffeur, security, VIP transfers)
- Private aviation and yacht brokers
- Curated experience providers (art, gastronomy, culture, design)
- HR directors and corporate benefits consultants seeking Italian lifestyle partners
- International real estate advisors and family offices
